In West Yorkshire we are developing an obesity strategy in collaboration with partners across the region. To inform that strategy we have held events to look at what our vision and principles should be. The events were a good way of sharing best practice so we can learn from each other and see what works well for people in West Yorkshire.
We held two events in May 2023 and July 2023. In response to those events we have set up an online Community of Practice: Better supporting people living with obesity and overweight in West Yorkshire. See our communities of practice pages for dates and more information. For a meeting invite, contact Lisa Buchanan on lisa.buchanan11@
Co-production and making sure people are at the heart of developing our strategy is important. This will help to make sure that we can secure the long term, transformational change needed to best support those striving for healthy weight and living with obesity.
